discal cell, meeting the lower branch of the 3rd vein and just 
failing to reach the wing margin. 
The lower branch of the 4th vein is also nearly straight, 
diverging slightly from the upper branch, so that the discal cell is 
broader distally than at its base (which is pointed); and it is forked 
at the middle of the discal cell, the upper prong turning upwards 
at an obtuse angle, ferming the distal side of the discal cell; unless 
this section be tegarded as a discal cross-vein whilst the lower 
prong is recurved upward at a sharp acute angle (where there is a 
very short appendix), meeting the angle of the upper prong which 
forms the distal lower corner of the discal cell. 
The posterior cross-vein is very oblique, and placed at the 
forking of the lower branch of the 4th vein; and is about as long 
as the anterior cross-vein. The 5th longitudinal is thickened, 
rather suddenly bent at its junction with the posterior cross-vein ; 
meeting the 6th a little before the wing border, with a trace of a 
very small appendix at their union; the 6th vein is slightly curved, 
the 7th is indistinct but present, short, not reaching the wing 
margin. 
The first basal cell is rather large and Lroad, bounded distally 
by the anterior cross-vien, the 2nd basal cell is much longer and 
narrower, bounded distally by the posterior cross-vein; the discal 
cell elongate, about 34 times longer than its greatest breadth. 
The rst submarginal cell nearly as long as the marginal, and 
narrowed at the wing margin, the 2nd submarg nal cell small, 
sub-conical, the 3rd submarginal cell of irregular shape, fairly 
large, bounded proximaliy by the two branches of the 3rd vein. 
The 1st posterior cell is closed by the lower branch of the 
3rd vein; the 2nd posterior cell is large, of irregular shape, nearly 
as large as the 3rd submarginal, the 3rd posterior cell is small, 
closed some distance before the border; the 4th posterior cell 
is large, much broader at the wing margin; the anal cell closed 
distinctly before the wing border; the axillary cell large, the 2nd 
axillary or spurious cell narrow 
Alulae very small, squamae pale yellowish, the upper ones 
small, the lower ones very large and pubescent. Halteres yellowish.

N.b.—tThere is little doubt that this species belongs to Pzalea, 
although the venation offers a slight difference to Westwood’s 
figure. That author also illustrates what appears to be three 
short basal joints to the antennae, and I can only suppose the 
first of these supposed joints is really the frontal triangle, which, 
projecting forwards, would from a side view appear muchas an 
antennal joint. Westwood was however so careful and precise an 
observer that I may be mistaken in supposing him in error. The 
Westw. sp. noy.), the only other known species (from Brazil).
